LOST PAIR OF SHOES.
Peculiar Story of a Beautiful and
Strong Minded Countess.

Do YOU remember zen. 1eIlSSler, GlueStOr
of the French Senate, who accompanied NJ.
de Lesseps to America last October9 The
General, in himself, is not especially inter
csting. but no has beautiful niece whose
matrimonial difficulties are the subject of
the day in one city at least. The Generals
brother, Marechal Pelissier, was made Due
de Malakof on his return from the Crimea.
Then the Empress married him to one of
her Spanish cousins In 1850 his daughter,
Louise Eugene, was born, and to her the
Morechal devoted his life. He was in name
Governor General of Algeria, but it was the
baby Louise who ruled both Governor and
governed. In spite of his energy and bravery
the Marechal was very superStitious; when
tba Duchesse LOUISE as she was called, was
old enough to wear shoes, her father ordered
for her the most beautiful that could be
made. According to the ideas of the mother
ii was necessary to observe Spanish Gus
TOM SO the shoes were packed in a box of
oranges and sent to Paris to be blessed by
the cIlrate of Notre Dame. After the bless
ing they were to remain one night on the
feet of the miraculous black Madonna A
letter of explanation was sent requesting
that the shoes be returned with Personal
and immediate" written upon the package.
The final sentence of the letter was:
II am sure that these blessed little shoes
will bring happiness to Louise all her lifen
The shoes never reached their destination,
and although diligent search was made they
were never found. Then the father, who
had never flinched on the field of battle, for
the first time in his life was afraid, and for
his child In 1874 he died, and Louise be-
came beautiful young girl, very head
strong. exceedingly intellectual, and in
French opinion her conduct was too much
like that of an American She had friends
other than those selected by her mother,
went out alone, received visitors when no
older person was present, and listened to
lectures on German philosophy at the Sor-
bonnie. Count Jean ZamoyslSi, Pole, rich
in gold and royal alliances, came upon the
scene; eleven days
AFTER THE FIRST MEETING
Louise de Malakoff promised to became
Countess Zamoyski. Zamoyslxi, who was a
member of the Austrian Reichsrath, scan
dalized Viennese society by his proposed
marriage with a Bonapartist. In Viennese
ewes that was a sin not to be pardoned
When his fancee told him that she believed
in Plato more profoundly than in Shopen-
hauer, Zanoyski seized the occasion to break
the engagement, but Louise had made up
her mind to marry this scion of a noble
house, and not only to marry him, but to
bring him over to her own views on the ex-
UlQCUfOu u Ju6 vi course she
succeeded; they were married in May, 1881,
and went to Vienna to live. The beauty
and grace Of the young Countess were much
talked of in society; she seemed devoted to
her husband, and certainly she was con-
sidered very unhappy if he were absent a
day. Naturally all were surprised when
the young wife asked the Pope to annul her
marriage and the civil tribunal to grant her
divorce. She says her husband abused
her, was jealous of her philosophers, locked
her up, fed her upon bread and water, etc.
Count Zamoysk has published pamphlet
in answer to his wifes allegations, or rather
the accusations of her friends In this he
says that not only does he love his wife, but
in every respect she is worthy of his affec-
ton; that he wishes neither divorce nor sep
aration, and affirms that he is the victim Of
Bonapartist schemes. Have Viennese friends
who warned Zamoysd in the beginning at
last influenced his opinions? Perhaps he re-
grets that their advice was ever scorned, for
his wife is willing to pay the Sacred Council
thousands of dollars if the marriage is de-
clared null.
At present Countess Zamoyski lives with
her mother, the Duchess of Malakoff, at No.
"a Avenue Marceau, Paris, and Count Ia
moyski has received orders from the Aus
TRAN Emperor not to negotiate for divorce,
and to await quietly in Vienna the decision
of the Sacred Council.
SAD END OF A MARRIAGE.
Paris now mourns the loss of Ignace Mic
CLAUS Gurowski, another Polish noble, who.
in l841, married an infanta of Spain, Isabel
Fernandina of Bourbon, daughter of
Don Francois de Paule and Princess
Louise of Naples. By this marriage Count
Gurowski was brother-in-law to Queen Isa-
bella and great uncle to the present King. /

Nine. Adams receptions, but what made his
death OF special interest to me was the
TACT that almost at the moment he expired
the lnfanta was calling upon me. She knew
nothing. OF the Counts sudden illness as
they had been separated for a number of
years; however, their homes were only
distant few doors one from the other,
and the wife often took luncheon with the
husband or vice versa. Of Count GurowslSi
the lntanta always speaks well, and many
nmes have heard her make this remark:
Does woman wish to know whether she
IS really beautifula Let her ask my hus-
band-from him she will hear nothing but
truth"
Indeed, Count Gurowsli was noted for his
iFankness, love of truth and kindness of
heart. He had but one fault-a fault too
common with European noblemen--he was
aspendthrift. With him money went much
more easily than it came. The infanta, as
royal Princess, received from the state about
N2OO0 year, and after she had paid debt
alter debt of her husband, one day she said:
Listen, my friend. We shall remain on the
cost OF terms if you live in your own way,
IN mine Set up an establishment of your
own; then you can spend your income as
you please. Ii we remain together we shall
Uecome enemies, because of your extrava-
CANT habits
Count Gurowslki accepted the proposition
made by his wife, and from that day they
lved separate lives. Queen Isabella and
ner husband, Don Francois daisies, brother
VI the lntanta, had long before set the ex-
ample. Some years ago, it is said, the in
Ianta was avaricious, or rather economical,
aqd her daughter, Marie Louise, who died
y Madrid, suffered from this extreme
Tonomy; but if that were then the case
vac le lnfanta now has the reputation of gener-
eSlty, as she divides her income between her
C children, of whom Princess Marie
Ghrlstlne, Viscountess of Trancoso, is well
Nnown in Paris.
